Every Mama Deserves to Be Well
We fund care, train providers, and build community for Black and Brown birthing individuals who deserve better from the system.
Built to close the maternal mental health gap
WHO WE ARE
The Black Girls Mental Health Foundation is a non-profit organization that advances mental health equity for Black and Brown women, birthing people, and their families. We fund free therapy, train perinatal mental health providers, and connect birthing individuals to the care, resources, and community they deserve. We operate across California and Georgia.
The Numbers Behind the Work
OUR IMPACT
These numbers reflect what happens when a community decides that Black and Brown birthing individuals deserve better. Each figure is a real person, a real family, a real moment of care.
